Computerassisted implantology

More security with 3D-implantation

Modern imaging techniques and computer programs create new opportunities for gentle care with dental implants.

There are people who are afraid of surgery and its consequences, or do not know whether their bone is at all suitable for an implant. Here is a new, computerized method for creating virtual surgery planning security:

Implants require, as well as natural teeth, sufficiently firm anchorage to bone. Similarly those “artificial dental roots” are to be implanted deep enough into the bone in order to ensure lasting durability. If the existing bone is not sufficient to hold an implant, so a bone development can be simulated. Furthermore, the optimal position in the bone is important to protect nerves and blood vessels against injury. Right here is where the new technology of the so-called “navigated implantation” is set.

The Three-dimensional imaging
The so-called digital volume tomography (DVT) allows us an exact three-dimensional diagnostic without significant exposure to X-rays.

We now offer you this recording in our practice!

The digital surgical planning
With the help of new, specially for dental implants and oral surgery developed software programs, the placement of the implants can be simulated without the use of scalpel and suture. Prepared on the basis of these data the future implant position on the jaw will be planned, making the pending operation to be performed with millimeter accuracy.

The navigation during implantation
To transfer the in advance by the doctor at the computer determined optimal position on the situation of the patient’s mouth, a mask is used. The implants are exactly navigated to the previously planned location in the computer. This includes both the position, inclination, as well as the proper length set.
